I had reorganized once but it didn’t work so did it again and I am liking my new arrangement! This is where I used to have my inks. I put my Big Shot here and the drawers now hold the platforms and plates.

I was asked to make a bigger wedding card for a friend and she wanted some specific things on it so I used some of my retired Stampin’ Up products and made this card. I have used these smaller letters in a lot of projects and glad I kept them.

I made the scrapbook page for my grandson using Let the Good Times Roll bundle along with the Birthday Delivery Bundle. It is the first time I have used either of those bundles. I love the little roller coaster cars.

The next two projects I made for Christmas for little gifts for my friends. The Be Merry DSP patterns are great for making pretty panels. The Bright Quilted Christmas Paper lent itself to work nicely with the patterns on the candles.

The next three cards were great fun as I got to order the products early as a demonstrator. The first two cards feature a stamp set and thinlits from our Sale-a-Bration catalogue as well as some washi tape and the Lovely Words Thinlits.

This last card is my favourite! The Hedgehug stamp set has so many cute critters and who doesn’t love using Lemon Lime Twist.

We have a wonderful group of demonstrators called West Coast Creators led by Angela McKay. We have a challenge every two Wednesdays but support each other throughout the week. This week was a sketch. If you are ever stuck on making a card it is helpful to look for a sketch and go from there.I have used the Musical Instruments Thinlits and the sentiment is from Musical Seasons.

We made these lovely tags at my uplines house today. As a demonstrator we get to go to extra meetings and learn and craft together. We made these tags designed by Rhonda Wade and I am going to offer to send out a package of the four tags to you to make along with the PDF of instructions with any order placed tomorrow on free shipping day.

This was such a great Paper Pumpkin kit! I am cleaning up my desk to make way for new projects and finished my last month’s PPkit so I can pull out this month and finish my stockings. I added a few trees to these and liked the effect!

When you use the double sided DSP in the suite you can do a lot of experimenting which is what I did. I take a little kit of cards with me to our thrift store as it helps me sit for a bit so I don’t end up getting too tired. These are fun to do.

I had to case this card from the moment I saw it as I thought it was a brilliant use of the Eastern Medallion thinlits for Christmas. I got this idea from Patricia Cox-Charles. It was also a great way to use up some retired twine I have had in my drawer.

I am enjoying these new blender markers from Stampin’ Up. They are easier to open and close than the old ones. The tips are also firmer and easier to colour with. Any order of four or more of these markers with me will receive three cards from the Colour me Happy kit for you to make.

I like making different things for Christmas. The DSP from the catalogue makes this easy. You can put a gift card and chocolates into these little boxes. I wanted to make some that would be ok for a guy.

Just experimenting with Merry Patterns! I love this set because you stamp the outline and then fill it in with a second stamp. This is the last few days you can get this stamp for free with a qualifying order.

Well, I tried my first Facebook live today and posted a video on how to make these little Christmas purses. This is a great way to use up old or retired DSP and you can put a lot of different treats in here. Head to my Facebook page Shanda’s Stamping Spot to see the video.

As a demonstrator we get to order things ahead of when they are released. I took my little colouring kit to our thrift store and experimented with various colours. My favourite colour was the Rich Raspberry. Which one do you like?

I love opening my front door and finding these cute little kits outside. I thought I would post a picture of everything you get inside. Everything is included as you can see! I sometimes do a little extra with what I have but you don't really need to. I love the matching envelopes too!

I brought my Good Tidings stamp set with me to Saskatewan as I thought my friend might like to try it. I liked it in Tranquil Tide and she liked it in Garden Green. I haven't glued it together because I thought I might add some ribbon I added a little piece I cut out on top of the Tranquil Tide and I liked that too! Which colour do you like best?

I have been been wanting to try this technique for ages so my friend Shirley wanted to too so we visited Ann Craig's blog and she gave great instructions how to sponge colour on your embossing folder and then stamp the truck right onto the embossing folder and voila It looks like it is sitting behind the trees. We found the Black Archival ink worked the best to get a stronger image of the truck.
